Abstract
|
|
|
Even a single brain infarct can cause dementia when it occurs in functionally critical areas of the brain. A 71-
year-old female developed sudden cognitive impairment without any other focal neurologic deficits. A brain MRI
revealed a bilateral anterior fornix infarction. Neuropsychological evaluation revealed verbal and visual memory
deficits, visuospatial dysfunction, and frontal executive dysfunction. The cognitive impairment did not improve for
3 months and the patient showed impairments in daily activities. We report a patient who demonstrated strategic
infarct dementia after a bilateral anterior fornix infarction.
